        Thank you for your response, I am very scared. He told me it was a #4, when I asked what that was, he said a clark 4.Before I went into the 2nd removel, he told me that he was almost sure there wasn't anything else, that this was standard proceedure, and that it was deep. I am going to see an Onocologist this friday to find out the results of the 2nd one. I am then going to request a copy of everything. I have had this red mole for about 4yrs, and my family doc said it wasn't anything to worry about, the only reason why it was checked by a Dermatologist was because I was sent there for a cyst on my cheek to be checked, and I asked her to check the mark on my leg. Thank God I did or I would not have found this out.

              Well, just recieved the results of the 2nd proceedure. They told me it came back clear, they didn't find anymore, but told me to still follow up with the Oncologist. Hope it goes well. Thanks again for your response, it really made me feel better. This is an awesome site. I will post the outcome of the visit this friday.
